So much for sleep, I stop at a local McDonald's to get a cup of coffee on my way to the station. Once I arrived my buddy Zac walked over to me, " hey man" I said we shook hands he let out a sigh " who is that crazy bitch you sent here" he asked it took me a min to realize he was talking about Queenie " bitch? Why is she a bitch what happened" I asked

" she bat shit crazy saying she's not answering anything until you got here" he said " where is she now" " in a prison cell where she belongs she bit me" Zac held up his finger that had a bandage wrapped around it " she bit you why" " I reached to touch her shoulder she bit my hand"

I raised my eyebrow " hmm I'll get her side of the story" I rubbed the back of my head, I took one last sip of coffee before heading into the the cell  " hey Dre" said one of the officers guarding I nodded walked into the cell  where Queenie sat head down face down on the pillow

"I said I'm not speaking to any of you" she spat " not even to me" I spoke , Queenie head shot up she ran up to hug me but quickly backed away. " I'm sorry that was inappropriate but I am happy to see you" Queenie sat back down on the bed "please tell me you didn't bite an detective" I asked she put her head down " he grabbed my shoulder I bit him in self defense"

I sat next to Queenie " still you don't bite now they're thinking about pressing charges" Queenie eyes got big " SHIT I mean the man grabbed me you can look at the tape but I'm not trying to dirty up my perfectly polished record"  Queenie covered her face hiding her tears " listen I'll see what I can do but I need you to answer my questions no biting" Queenie look back at me nodded

We spent almost 20 mins of her answering my questions " what were you doing before you saw the head" I asked " I just came on the gas station to get some Cheetos and sprite" she said "why were you getting Cheetos and sprite" " to feed my high" her eyes got big again realize what she just said and who she said it too " uhhh high spirit the Holy Spirit I get very hungry after" she said with a smile " it is legal to smoke weed" I informed " I don't smoke weed detective" she held her head up high in holding on to her lie "Anyway what was your reaction to when you saw the head" I asked

Queenie gasped placing her hand over her mouth quietly screaming into it " omg omg uh oh shit oh shit uhhh" Queenie pretended to take off her jacket inching up to the head throwing it on it like it was a bug she was scared to kill it" I walked off like I had the bubble guts to your apartment"

I wrote down everything thing that was said " your free to go" I said " wait really" " yeah my partner will be fine I'll get you a hotel for the time being since you've had enough trauma for one night." I informed " I have a dog" she said " I can't leave my dog she hasn't seen me since this morning" I nodded promising to get her dog

The next morning those cups of coffee were not working at all " he just works and works I know it's his job but he's exhausted" words of my mother to my doctor " well Dre you are 35 almost close to being 40  at some point you will need to take it easy your not as much of a spring chicken as you used to be" said my doctor

For once I'm taking his word for it I leaned back on my couch in my office drifting off to sleep instantly....

*BOOM* "DAVIS WHERE ARE YOU ON THIS CASE" I shot up to the sight of my Father... the Mayor James Davis  of Philadelphia well trying to be Senator " dad it just started is where I'm at"

"Then why is it I'm hearing you questioning a witness yesterday" he asked more so demanded " because you heard it dad and I am extremely tired I need sleep please" I almost begged " Dre this is serious I need my Boy on top of this it'll be good fo...

"Then why is it I'm hearing you questioning a witness yesterday" he asked more so demanded " because you heard it dad and I am extremely tired I need sleep please" I almost begged " Dre this is serious I need my Boy on top of this it'll be good for the campaign" " dad... *sigh* I said I was on it I don't need you on my neck I need sleep"  I laid back on my couch closing my eyes when

*snatch* my dad grabs me by my collar bringing to his face but realized where he's at letting me go smoothing my shirt out " you better get some sleep maybe when you wake up you'll remember I'm your father because no son of mine speaks to me In that manner"  he stood up from the sofa fixing his suit "your mother expects to see you at Sunday dinner yes?" He asked "yeah I'll be there" I said
Dad made his way to the door " keep me updated son" he said walked out

I let out another sigh don't really feel like sleeping anymore I threw my jacket over my eyes began groaning. I stare at my jacket for a few secs, I noticed the tag the lettering who it was made by Tom Ford and how mom got it for me for Christmas " baby I got you a brand new jacket because that old one needs to be burned" I chuckled at her comment remembering how I loved that old jacket but she was right it was time for it... to... goooo....... 😴😴😴😴😴

*KNOCK KNOCK*

I jolted awake to see Zac standing in the doorway " hey man sorry to wake you but the medical examiner is here with a report on the victim" he said I nodded wiping the crust out my eyes I sat up noticed that the sun was going down " how long was I out" I asked " all day" he joked I shook off the sleep pouring myself a cut off coffee as the examiner walks in

" hey josh" I greeted " hey Andre so here's what I have for you , judging by the head her name is          Ann Wu she was a stripper at a local Tiddy Pop strip club, I tested her brain it was already dead before her head was cut off so if you want to know where the body is I suggest you start at the strip club." Josh handed me a photo of Ann

Noticed she had a flower tattoo on her wrist things like this is very important. I looked at Zac " ready to get to the strip club" I asked " as long as I get some sliders while I'm there" I laughed we walked out

We arrived at the Tiddy Pop shit reeked of sex drugs food. We sat down at the bar Zac order us some food and drinks " hey where's the manager" I asked straight to the point " hold on I'll get him" said the bartender. As we waited Zac turns around to see one of the strippers behind us "Omg" Zac said " what she got big tits or something" I joked I turned around my mouth dropped to see Queenie dancing on the table and she was just as shocked to see us
